Abstract:
The article considers the problem of the relationship between the modern state and the diaspora usually seen
in the cultural and social (less often historical) and rarely becomes the subject of political and legal studies.
Today the diasporas are playing an increasingly active role not only in the cultural life of the society, their influence
becomes more visible even in such areas as the formation and implementation of foreign policy, the
domestic lobby, the economy and investment. This circumstance requires determining the policy and legal
fields, in which the diasporas act as actors. At present, there is an intensification of national self-awareness
and national self-identification in diasporas. Any country that conducts any diasporal policy today can and
should use the political, cultural and economic potential of diaspora to protect its national interests and develop
interstate relations. The growing global diaspora and the contributions they bring to the development have
warranted such high-level attention. The article defines how the recognition of the diaspora at the international
legal and national level has become an important milestone in the overall humanization of law and the
state. This legitimized the right of nations to self-determination and opened the way to active influence on the
political, legal and cultural life of modern states
